Português Nemátodes entomopatogénicos: agentes de proteção biológica

Nesta revisão evidencia-se o elevado potencial de utilização de nemátodes entomopatogénicos (NEPs) como agentes de proteção biológica na redução das populações de insetos fitófagos que podem causar estragos e/ou insetos vetores de doenças, em produção sustentável de alimentos, como alternativa ou complemento aos produtos fitofarmacêuticos. Descobertos em 1923, a sua comercialização como biopesticidas iniciou-se...

Editorial: Sustainable strategies for the management of phytoparasitic nematodes

Transcriptome analysis reveals the high ribosomal inhibitory action of 1,4-naph...

The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne luci presents a threat to the production of several important crops. This nematode species was added to the European Plant Protection Organization Alert list in 2017. The scarce availability of efficient nematicides to control RKN and the phasing out of nematicides from the market have intensified the search for alternatives, such as phytochemicals with bionematicidal pr...

Susceptibility of crop plants to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne luci, a thr...

The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne luci is included in the Alert List of the European Plant Protection Organization, because it has potential negative impacts on economically important crops. Identification of plant species/cultivars resistant to M. luci is important for its management. Susceptibility of 35 commercial plant species/cultivars, from nine families to a M. luci isolate from Portugal was evalu...

Species-Specific Molecular Detection of the Root Knot Nematode Meloidogyne luci

Meloidogyne luci has been identified in various countries around the world parasitizing economically important crops and, due to its potential to cause serious damage to agriculture, was included in the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Alert List in 2017. This species shares morphological and molecular similarities with M. ethiopica and M. inornata, and a M. ethiopica group was therefore...

Meloidogyne graminicola-A Threat to Rice Production: Review Update on Distribut...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the main cultivated crops worldwide and represents a staple food for more than half of the world population. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs), Meloidogyne spp., and particularly M. graminicola, are serious pests of rice, being, probably, the most economically important plant-parasitic nematode in this crop. M. graminicola is an obligate sedentary endoparasite adapted to flooded condit...

New Hosts and Records in Portugal for the Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne luci

First report on Meloidogyne chitwoodi hatching inhibition activity of essential...

The Columbia root-knot nematode (CRKN), Meloidogyne chitwoodi, is an EPPO A2 type quarantine pest since 1998. This nematode causes severe damage in economically important crops such as potato and tomato, making agricultural products unacceptable for the fresh market and food processing. Commonly used nematicidal synthetic chemicals are often environmentally unsafe. Essential oils (EOs) may constitute safer alte...
